note that I am doing this in a 'test' folder in my public_html folder. The .htaccess file is in the test folder, so that should not be an issue, correct? Could using a RewriteRule to turn the ugly URL into a pretty URL and then another RewriteRule to change the ugly one into the pretty one cause problems? This does seem somewhat circular... Does the order of the RewriteRules matter? Should one rewrite rule appear before the other in the .htaccess file?

what am i doing wrong with my rewrite rule? any suggestions on getting the ugly url to redirect to the pretty url?
